AnswerHEY THERE, I HAVE A 96 DEVILL WITH THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE IN IT. THE HEAD GASKET HAS BEEN DAMAGED SO I ORDERED THAT HEAL A SEAL OFF THE INTERNET AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF, ITS BEEN SIX MONTHS AND A LOT OF TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN NUMEROUS TIMES. IT COSTS ABOUT 159.00 BUT ITS WORTH IT.BACK TO YOUR QUESTION THOUGH, I ALSO HAVE A 1990 CADI SEVILLE WITH A 4.5 V8 ENGINE IN IT, I HAVE SEEN A 96 AND 97 DEVILLE WITH THE SAME ENGINE IN IT. A FRIEND OF MINE HAS A 95 WITH THAT ENGINE IN IT ALSO. HOPE IVE BEEN SOME HELP. THESE CARS ARE GREAT CARS BUT WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS HUH. LET ME KNOW YOUR OUTCOME.I have a 94 deville concourse which was originally equipped with the 4.6, but it has a 4.9 in it. So I guess somewhere along the way a different motor was dropped in.
Not necessarily.
On a FORD V8 engine : 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front
The # 1 position faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side on the Ford 400 cubic inch V8 engine distributor cap
Cylinder # 1 is at the front of the engine on the passenger side . On the passenger side of the engine the cylinders are numbered 1 to 4 , from front to back (by firewall) and on the driver's side of the engine the cylinders are numbered 5 to 8 , from front to back ( by firewall )
Depending what make it is; Deville has a 4.9 (V8). Deville Concours 4.6 (V8)Northstar engine. Eldorado has the 4.6 (V8) Northstar engine. Fleetwood 5.7 (V8) Seville 4.6 (V8) Northstar engine.
YES
The 2005 Cadillac SRX has a V6 engine.
In a word, no. The Northstar engine is a DOHC 4 valve-per-cylinder engine, while the LSx is a traditional pushrod engine. The ports of the northstar are wider to accommodate 2 intake valves, the ports on an LS are narrower and tall feeding a single, large intake valve. The heads on a Northstar are wider and therefore the valley is narrower. The starter on a Northstar is located in the valley. All of these attributes dictate the design of the Northstar intake manifold which, looking similar on top, is very different than an LS manifold on the bottom.
It has the 4.0 Northstar V8...basically the Cadillac STS Engine with a smaller bore.
waterpump or radiator hose
The Northstar engine is a self purging engine. It requires no bleeding procedure.
How to change the ect on the northstar engine
A 97 Deville would be equipped with the Northstar V8 engine, therefore, it has 8 spark plugs.
Only insofar as they're almost impossible to do with the engine in the car. If the engine is out, they're no worse than any other V8.
the northstar is rebuildable but big in price the headbolts pull threads out of the block when you remove them you can insert a max of three in an engine at our dealer if it has high mileage and/or suffered overheating we replace the early ones with a used engine, i hope this helps
It is not too difficult to change a serpentine belt on a Northstar V8. A person needs to be able to maneuver around car parts and have no rush for time.
